The Race for Optimizing IE7

IEAK 7 makes it easy to deploy your own customized version of IE7. Both Google and Yahoo try to convince IE6 users to upgrade to their version of IE7. Yahoo does that by promoting the bundle on each and every search results page, while Google bought some AdWords for "ie7".

I wonder if there's a strict template companies should follow or Google and Yahoo are completely unimaginative.

Yahoo also bought some AdWords for "ie7" three times in fact. The first Sponsored Link on the right side is yahoo, the second Link is to a page offering the Yahoo optimized browser for free, and the third result bounces back to the Yahoo download page.

I used to work with the ieak a long time ago in the days of ie3 and ie4 for a UK ISP, they were pretty strict then about what you could do with it and how you were supposed to promote it. It wouldn't surprise me if MS provided those images with restrictions on what can and can't be done.

You guys are just to dumb to figure this out.It is not Yahoo nor Google that creates those ads but Microsoft and they customize it for each portal "Google" and "Yahoo" to promote their IE7 piece of s**t

Hi there,It is a very good news that google finally optimized some browsers for it's users but bad news is that some users from special countries such as IRANIAN people can not download it from google website.It sounds that We (Iranian People) must punished for our government activity.Sorry for GOOGLE
